The Box Widget is just that - a square or rectangle that you can place on your page mainly for design purposes, usually behind other items such as an image or a text block. The arrangement of the box (in front of or behind another object) can be accomplished using the editing options located in the top right corner of the editor. Although you are able to add background color to most of the widgets, sometimes a design might require multiple layers of colors on a page and this is where a Box Widget can be used. Add borders and different gradients to achieve a variety of effects on your page. The Box Widget is available with all subscriptions.
Text WidgetThe Text Widget allows you to place text onto your webpage. Once selected, the text box widget will display on the page and you are able to enter text - in any language - into the box.
The text widget has a special formatting menu that will display when the widget is selected on your page. This menu can be used to edit font type, font size, font color, and text alignment. Additional formatting, positioning, and linking options can be found using the widget's Style Menu. Link WidgetThe Link (or Hyperlink) widget is similar to the Text widget and allows you to add text to the page that can be linked to another area. The hyperlink will link all the words to the same one place - so use a separate hyperlink widget for each separate link. Hyperlinks allow to to place linked text on your page in any language, and can be styled in any number of ways using the widget's Style menu.Button WidgetLike the Text Widget and the Hyperlink, the Button Widget also allows you to place a link on your page that is used to navigate your website. A series of buttons, together, can be used to create a menu, each linking to a separate page or location in your website, or can be used throughout your site ("Shop Now!", "Subscribe to my Blog today!") individually.

Menu WidgetThe Menu Widget allows to you quickly generate a functioning menu for your page, allowing you to navigate through the various Layers of the Stack Widget it is connected to. You must first place both a Menu Widget and a Stack Widget onto your webpage in the Editor, and then double click the Menu and link it to your Stack.
Here you can also edit the Menu Titles. To add, delete, or re-arrange the order of the menu tabs you will need to edit the Stack Widget. Select the Stack Widget Settings and select '+' Layer to add a new menu tab, or re-order and delete a layer using the 'up', 'down', and 'X' buttons next to each. You'll notice the menu widget should reflect the changes that you make to the stack.
You can edit the menu's look and feel with the Style menu, including the display (Horizontal or Vertical) and each of the various 'states' (Normal, Rollover, Selected).
The Menu widget is linked to any stack using the widget's Settings menu. The linking options on the Menu Widget's Style menu will not work.
Stack WidgetA Stack widget is an area (rectangular) that you place on your page and that allows that area of your page to change content - like a book where you are able to flip through the pages and read different content, but the book is the same book.
Stacks are useful because they allow you to quickly and efficiently create an entire website on just one page. Items placed outside of the stack will remain stationary on the page and will never change, however items placed inside the stack will change as layers of the stack change. Items placed inside of the stack on layer #2 will only display when that specific layer is accessed, for example.
While in the design Editor you are able to change the layers of a stack by using the left and right arrow keys seen to the left and right of the Stack Title when the stack is selected on your page. The stack can also be navigated by connecting it to a Menu Widget and then using the menu buttons. By default the stack will have only 3 layers, however you are able to add or delete as many as you wish using the stack Settings.
Quick Tutorial on Stacks:
- Open a blank page in the Editor and select the Stack Widget to place a Stack on your page.
- Select the Menu Widget to place it on your page, and click the Menu's Settings icon to connect it to the Stack. Do NOT place the Menu into the stack, it should remain outside of the stack's area.
- Select your Stack title from the list, and connect the menu to the stack.
- Double click the stack to open the Settings menu. Select 'Add Layer' to add more buttons to the Menu, or 'Delete Layer' to delete the Menu buttons. Re-order the stack layers to reorder the menu buttons.
- Place an item - for example, an Image - into the stack by selecting the Image widget and then dragging it into the stack. This image will now display only on this layer of the stack.
- Change layers of the stack by clicking a new menu button. Now, place another item onto that layer of the Stack - for example, a second image widget.
- Each individual image will appear only when it's respective menu button is clicked. Items left outside of the stack (like the menu) will never change as the layers of the stack change.
Table WidgetThe Table Widget allows you to add a basic table to your webpage. Format the number of columns and rows, the background colors, borders, font, and visual effects of the table by editing the widget's Settings and Style options.Image WidgetThe Image Widget has a variety of uses, the obvious one being that it's used to place any image you wish anywhere on your webpage. Re-size your image by dragging the corners of the image, or hold while dragging to re-scale to size. Crop the image using the side and top/bottom handles.
And image can also be used as a link on your website. For example, you could put an image of a shopping cart on your page linking to your online store page, or create your website menu using a series of images instead of text.

Video Player WidgetThe Video Player widget allows you to add a video to your page using a Cubender video player.

Videos must first be uploaded to Main Menu > Files > My Videos and must be MP4 and FLV files.
Not all video formats can display on all devices - for example and MP4 will not display on Flash devices, whereas an FLV file will not display on non-flash devices like Apple. Thus, we suggest uploading BOTH these file types (one FLV and one MP4) for each of your videos and selecting BOTH in the Video Player Settings. As a result, no matter the device used to view your video, the player will provide the correct video for the type of device being used to view your page.
